Severe Acid Reflux. Taking Antacid. Tried Apple Cider Vinegar. What Else Can I Try?
Hello Dr, I have severe Acid Reflex problem in the past 3 years since I crossed the age of 49 years. This is bad if I eat after 7PM and also if the food is oily or spicy. I have to be very careful not to over eat. If I have to attend parties, I take as a precaution Antacid in the morning itself. I was reading on Apple Cider Vinegar. I took 1tsp in 2 glass water and the effect was very bad. The acid reflex problem became worse. I tried only for two days.
